What a very nice looking couple! Now we have another couple to admire.

Hello, Chris and Margit!  So nice to meet you!

Wonderful!  It is very nice to meet you, Chris and Margit.  I really admire your photographic talent.  

  AAaaawwwaaaa

A wonderful picture of both of you  Mr Chris and Ms Margit.

It is very nice to meet you both. And I love your pictures with the words of God. They are beautiful.

What a great looking couple.  Thanks for letting us 'see' you.  Now you aren't just a typo!!!

Nice to meet you Chris and Margit. Thank youfor sending us your photograph.

I agree with the rest!  You are a great looking couple.  It's wonderful to meet a new brother and sister in the Lord.

Chris it is nice to finally see what you look like.  Nice to meet you.

Doesn't she look like someone you'd love to have a cuppa with?

Well, I sure know I'd enjoy a cuppa with Margit!

Margit and Chris..what a lovely looking pair of "turtle doves".

Hi Margit....Nice to meet you again.

Put the kettle on please......Make us a "brew"..
just a drop of skimmed milk and no sugar for me please....

See you soon.

Jenny.

Very nice shot.  She has a beautiful smile.  

I would imagine that Margit has a really keen sense of humor.  I bet she and I could have a lot of fun together.  

Chris and Margit look (and sound) like folks I'd love having for neighbors and friends!  And they are, even though it is through the marvels of the internet!

Oh dear Ones,

I beg your forgiveness, neither Chris nor I realized this page existed and now that I've stumbled across it, shared it with Chris sitting next to me on his computer, I'm not so sure we"should" have found it.
A page like this could swell the head past the point of carrying it through a door........
We want to continue to come through the doors, doors that are open - doors that you've opened - doors to your heart.
Thank you for that, thank you for the hearty welcome.
Yes, and may I invite any and all to a cuppa, our door is always open too.

God bless.

In His love,

Margit and Chris too

Any recent photos of you two?  We'd sure love to see them!

I also love always your photo's
They are always very good.

No recent photo, we need to work on that.
With so many objects to take pictures of,  we don't think of taking many of ourselves, well, Chris manages an occasional shot of me but won't stand still long enough to let me do the same,  he's always focused on another prospective picture before I can catch him.

Your comment, Pat, made me think this might be a good place to repost our story, of how we met and fell in love.
I'll do that for now and promise to keep a new photo in mind and will add that as soon as it is on hand.

Thank you, God bless.

Margit


"Margit and I met when she came across my scripture website.  She was new to the wide world of the web and curious as to what a website was; when AOL announced that they had chosen winners for the "Christian Website of the Month" she saw that as a way to still her curiosity.  She liked what she saw in the first two of AOL's choices and somehow could not find rest until she had contacted the author of the second site. 

She wrote a short note, commented on the gift that God had imparted and encouraged the author of the site to continue taking pictures, not knowing if "Chris" was a man or a woman.

We became friends, then prayer partners.  We opened an AOL Message Board which included photos with scripture and soon had several Christians asking for prayer or just chat or giving back praise reports.

One of the most present prayer needs was the illness of my wife, she was suffering from emphysema.  We prayed intensely for her healing. The Lord answered, He chose to give her rest, we had not expected that.  He granted her complete healing and peace for eternity.

In all Margit had been a faithful friend for more than two years and now she became a real soul mate to me as never before.

A few months after my loss,  Margit found her employer, an eighty-six year old gentleman for whom she had worked for seven years, dead in bed upon arrival to work.  Christmas was a month later and when my children heard that we shared having lost someone very dear to us,  they thought that a time together could benefit us both.  Margit  was able to combine a visit to us over Christmas and New Year with a visit to her mother in Germany.

During the two weeks we went on walks together, enjoyed the snow and I showed her some of the sights.

My children eyed us both with great care though saying little, they made her feel welcome.  Margit was a little nervous, naturally, being among strangers although we felt we had know one another for years.

When we sat together in the living room she reached for my hand and held on.  One of my daughters remarked to me "are all Americans so 'touchy feely'?"

To the loving friendship that we had a whole new component entered in, we were falling in love.  Near the end of our time together, at an outing in the park, Margit turned to me and asked "Chris, what's to become of us?" 

At that moment all I could say was "I really don't know."
Silently tears ran down her cheeks and I knew that I couldn't let this woman go, she had become too precious to me!

Once Margit was back in Oregon we chatted away every day, sometimes for hours.  Eventually we decided that I should come to Oregon for a visit, we had decided in our communications that marriage was possible.  My children were astonished, maybe even a bit wary but not really surprised, Dad had never been out off Great Britain before and had never flown.

Once I arrived in Eugene, was met by my soul mate at the airport, I knew that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together and we made arrangements to become husband and wife. We were wed a few days later in a little country church by the husband of a friend of Margit, a Lutheran pastor.  On March the eight, 2002 we were married in the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

It's a long story of God's workings, events no one could have foreseen or orchestrated apart from God but briefly, Margit then listed her home for sale and there too God's hand was moving to an expedient sale and move here to Manchester, England where I earn my living...and......the story and the love goes on..."

Margit, when you and Chris come to the states in May to visit in Oregon, I do hope that you will be stopping by Northern California to meet with Al, Marbeth and Myself.

What a terrific little "CP BASH" that could be!  Nita, Jane, Al Moak, Marilyn and now we have a new lady in Coos Bay--LizMarr!

And I could be the "fly on the wall"! 

I just had to come here and read this lovely Love Story again.

What a wonderful work of our Heavenly Father in two lives separated by so many miles.

What a lovely photograph. It's nice to meet you. God Bless You.~ALMA
